"A comment for those that suggest that PBT and similar don't store actual fingerprint data: I agree in principle, but since I work in the software industry (and the payment industry specifically) I have to caution you that common sense and logic rarely have a place at the design table.

"I like how the same people that praise 2001's long, overwrought SFX-to-music scenes are probably the same ones that decry /Star Trek: The Motion Picture/ for the long, overwrought SFX-to-music scenes.
2001 does get points for being the first feature-length SF movie done with manikins instead of actors."
